Overview of FortiSIEM
FortiSIEM is an enterprise-grade Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution designed to serve as the central nervous system for a security operations team. It offers a comprehensive suite of capabilities that extend from automatically building an inventory of assets to employing cutting-edge behavioral analytics to swiftly detect and respond to threats. Notably, FortiSIEM is the only solution in the industry with a fully integrated Configuration Management Database (CMDB).
FortiAI: The Power of Generative AI
FortiAI is a distinctive feature of FortiSIEM, providing embedded generative AI assistance. It guides analysts through incident investigation, response, and threat hunting by automatically interpreting security events to produce detailed summaries, potential impact assessments, and remediation suggestions. Analysts can interact with FortiAI using natural language, enhancing report creation and product assistance, with built-in prompts simplifying its invocation during routine tasks.
Next-Generation SOC Automation
The platform is backed by FortiGuard Labs' threat intelligence experts who operate around the clock to analyze emerging threats and develop mitigation strategies at an accelerated pace. FortiSIEM leverages AI-driven behavior anomaly detection, including User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), to safeguard against both known and unknown threats. It uses statistical models to identify anomalies that suggest impossible or suspicious activities, such as extremely rapid logins across different geographical regions.
Visual Threat Hunting with Link Analysis
FortiSIEM consolidates visibility, correlation, automated response, and remediation into a single, scalable solution. It simplifies the management of network and security operations, freeing up resources, improving breach detection, and even preventing breaches. A new addition to the platform is the link graph technology, which facilitates the visualization of relationships among users, devices, and incidents, enhancing the effectiveness of threat hunting.
